There was (presumably) a British PAL-format VHS release of 'SLICK SILVER AND CO.' I saved a picture of the video sleeve on my computer. I say 'presumably' as I've not run across the tape yet, but I expect their was as FIFTH DIMENSION VIDEO was a real company. The movie was released to video in the UK January 1, 1986 and there's a BBFC-mandated rating on the sleeve art. (It's 'PG'). There is no exact release date of the video on the sleeve art, unfortunately. FIFTH DIMENSION VIDEO released a number of titles -- all of them obscure. I have 2 of their releases in my video collection: WENDIGO (1978) and SAVAGE WATER (1979). Both films were directed by Paul W. Kener (whose real name is apparently 'Paul Kiener' as seen on the IMDb). FIFTH DIMENSION VIDEO didn't bother to put a release date on the sleeves of 'Wendigo' or 'Savage Water', either. FDV also released such movies as MYSTERIOUS PLANET, SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS, NO TIME FOR ROMANCE and DEATH CURSE OF TARTU (Tagline: They thought it was a joke!) among others.

If you'd like to see what the FIFTH DIMENSION VIDEO sleeve for SLICK SILVER looks like just drop me a line and I'll e-mail/send it to you. I reckon you could also find a sleeve pic online somewhere. I cannot recall any more where I found the art picture . . . but at least I saved it!
